LizzyM 68. Non-Trad. Accepted in November.For the people interviewed and/or accepted here, could you post your stats if you haven't done so already?
you and me both bruh. doesn't seem like very many.Deferred decision just now.......
Im going crazy over here.
More waiting now.
Does anyone know how many people with deferrals generally get accepted?
I am in the same boat.Side note: does anyone have opinions on whether or not to attend second look weekend? I am already 100% sure I'm going to Michigan, but I have heard second look weekend is a good way to meet people/roommates and find housing. Not sure if I should bother taking the time off work and driving 7 hours to Ann Arbor.
You can just send them in the body of an email. I've done this three times now b/c i'm desperate.Does anyone know how to upload updates for shadowing hours? Just the hours, location, and office contact info on a pdf?
lame af. sorry dude.Deferred decision as well.
For my week, it was deferrals a day or two before acceptances.Dont acceptances usually come the night before, then deferrals and waitlists? Has anyobe been accepted?
Deferred decision as well.
I'm 95% sure I'm going to UMich and 100% sure I'm attending second look weekend. Theirs is apparently pretty great. Last year's class got to talk to Jim Harbaugh on the 50 yard line of the Big House. That's something I refuse to missSide note: does anyone have opinions on whether or not to attend second look weekend?

Okay that's pretty legit. Just didn't want to make the trek to sit in a bunch of seminars about stuff I could get from the internet. Seems that is not the case at Michigan!I'm 95% sure I'm going to UMich and 100% sure I'm attending second look weekend. Theirs is apparently pretty great.

What do you mean by"march deferrals"Im not getting my hopes up. I looked thru the past two years threads, and while Im sure there were some non-sdners, I couldn't find any examples of march deferrals getting accepted. Im kinda crushed rt now tbh. This was my last decision from my 3 interviews, with 2 WL's and now this.
I honestly thought my interview went great here.....
Deferrals that were told they would have a decision by marchWhat do you mean by"march deferrals"

Same, at this point, I'm just assuming a rejection and moving on with my life. Hopefully one of my other two interviews (MSU and CMU) accept me
I'm not trying to spread conspiracies or anything, but for those of you who got deferred/accepted, did you or did you not take a gap year? Many of my UM friends from undergrad interviewed at UM Med this cycle, yet only the ones who took a gap year or two happened to get in. I know it's a small sample size (7 students), but I'm wondering if UM is heavily favoring students who took gap years, whether because of increased experiences, maturity, etc.
Everyone I know (2 is and 4 oos) took gap years and only 1 (oos) was accepted.

I took 3 years to graduate undergrad, did 6 months of research abroad, and am currently finishing MPH over the past 1.5 years while applying. not really non-trad not reall trad, was deferred.I'm not trying to spread conspiracies or anything, but for those of you who got deferred/accepted, did you or did you not take a gap year?

No gap year before applying here, but I was out of school for 4 years before starting undergrad while I served in the Marine Corps. I doubt its a maturity thing, either. I'm in my mid 20's, I've been married for 6.5 years and have 2 kids.I'm not trying to spread conspiracies or anything, but for those of you who got deferred/accepted, did you or did you not take a gap year?

2 gap years for meI'm not trying to spread conspiracies or anything, but for those of you who got deferred/accepted, did you or did you not take a gap year?

I took two gap years. I don't think UM is necessarily favoring students who took gap years. But I also think taking gap years and using them wisely helped my application a lot. This is my first cycle applying, but I don't think I would have gotten into a school like UMich straight out of undergrad.I'm not trying to spread conspiracies or anything, but for those of you who got deferred/accepted, did you or did you not take a gap year?

You're a vet with a LizzyM of 76? From what goro has said, that should translate to multiple top 20 admissions.
No research. No *official* shadowing at time of app, although i just submitted an update to all my apps yesterday with shadowing in it. Volunteering was only about 100 hours, but I figured the military service would balance that.
So not a perfect app, but I still felt comfortable with it.
Emergency room volunteer. Mostly dealing with visitors. About 90 hours. Plus 8 hours volunteering at an albanian orphanage. Also had about 60 hours direct patient care in a nursing program clinical before I withdrew for premed.Is that 100 hours clinical or nonclinical volunteering?
I sure hope so. Not counting on it though. Im applying for a masters program rn, just in case.I think you said you only applied in-state? If ANYONE gets in off deferral, it's you. Good luck!
Hopefully she got accepted at another great med schoolI'm currently taking a gap year and also took one after high school. I was interviewed and accepted, much to my surprise. The only other pre-med I know who applied to UMich did so straight out of college. She's a 4.0 student with ample research and clinical experience and a frustratingly high MCAT (also a Michigan resident) but she didn't even get an interview. I thought that was pretty weird.
Hopefully she got accepted at another great med school
Are you looking at it in a different browser?Did any other people's status pre II change to this?: "FILE COMPLETE -- Your file is now complete and under review. Reviews may take up to several months and could include some 'on hold' time while we compare groups of applicants. Thank you in advance for your patience during this lengthy period of time." Mine was something like this for a while but now it has the caps "FILE COMPLETE"

I've always used the same browser and it looks different to me, too. I'm pretty sure it used to say something along the lines of "rest assured that your application is still under consideration," and now it doesn't, so I'm not very optimistic.Did any other people's status pre II change to this?: "FILE COMPLETE -- Your file is now complete and under review.
